Las Brisas, Colombia

Black cherry, Hibiscus, candy sweetness 

Roasters' Notes:

As a washed, high-altitude coffee produced at almost 2000m ASL, Las Brisas has the density to take on a decent amount of heat, much like the Ethiopian heirloom varieties to which Pink Bourbon is related. The cooler growing conditions at this elevation encourage slower maturation, allowing the coffee to develop a dense structure and high potential for sweetness. We build momentum steadily throughout the roast, with particular attention to the later stages to ensure development doesn’t overwhelm the coffee’s more delicate qualities. The aim is to keep the cup bright, clean and articulate, with expressive fruit notes and a distinct candy-like sweetness remaining at the forefront.

Roast style: Progressive 

Coffee Origin Information:

Produced by Eduardo Ruiz, this distinctive lot comes to us through Cuatro Vientos, a family-owned company founded in 2018 by the Gonzalez family. Working with producers across different regions of Huila, Cuatro Vientos focuses on sourcing expressive microlots that showcase the diversity and character of Colombian coffee.

Known locally in Colombia as Rosado, or Pink Bourbon in the specialty coffee world, this distinctive variety is celebrated for its vibrant aromatics, juicy fruit character and pronounced sweetness.

Altitude: 1750m ASL Processing: Washed Variety: Pink Bourbon Harvest: 2025 Region: Acevedo, Huila, Colombia Producer: Eduardo Ruiz of Las Brisas farm

Produced by Eduardo Ruiz in the Acevedo region of Huila, Colombia, this lot from Rosetta Roastery showcases the distinct profile of the Pink Bourbon varietal. Grown at 1750 masl, the coffee undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, bright profiles, the specific terroir of Acevedo frequently contributes to a complex cup structure.

In this instance, the roaster identifies notes of black cherry, hibiscus, and candy sweetness. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between fruit-forward acidity and sugary undertones. This selection offers a focused look at how careful cultivation and traditional processing can elevate the Pink Bourbon varietal, resulting in a balanced experience that bridges the gap between delicate floral aromatics and deep, resonant fruit characteristics.
